BTW, I think I owe a HT to MadIvan for “bits and pieces.”
Either that, or Monty Python.
They are all Brits, though...and very clever ones, at that. ;o)
I got familiar with British humor along time ago.,was stationed in the UK during early 70’s...just as Monty was getting started...
After I was discharged and came home, I told my brother that the emerging British comedy coming to the states was something to watch for and that there was some brilliant stuff to enjoy....
